First, I was surprised that he answered me in Spanish. He’s doing this more and more without prompting the past couple days, which is very exciting – but, what in the world was he talking about? I asked him which kind of ice cream he wants and he responds with “the little blue rabbit”. I thought something got seriously lost in translation until I looked into my freezer.

Ola Senora Lopez! I just found the message you sent me on Twitter a bit ago and just had to check you out. You had mentioned that ModernMami told you about me, that I am white but my husband is Latino. I am Senora Ortiz, lol! Or so I am called by telemarketers sometimes – ha! They usually hang up when I reply with No Se, No hablo espanol, lol. My esposo and I have been together for eleven years and we have three ninos. Like you, I am great friends with my suegra, thankfully she doesn’t live with us or that might drive me loco! Thanks for reaching out to say to me, I look forward to getting to know you better :D
